Governor Parkop’s daughter-in-law files to remove charge

PORT MORESBY: National Capital District Governor Powes Parkop’s daughter-in-law Quinnie Mick has filed an application with the Waigani committal court to remove the charge of threatening.

Defence lawyer Edward Sasingian told the court that the information was defective.

“It did not contain the element of the charge of doing an unlawful act,” he added.

Police prsecutor Senior Sergeant Joseph Sangam objected to the application, saying it was premature at this stage and he would need time to confirm information about the allegations against Quinnie with the arresting officer.

The ongoing case against Quinnie was reported by The National:

NATIONAL Capital District Governor Powes Parkop’s daughter-in-law Quinnie Mick has filed an application to the Waigani Committal Court to remove the charge of threatening.
Defence lawyer Edward Sasingian told the court that the information was defective.
“It did contain the element of the charge of doing an unlawful act,” he said.
Police Prosecutor Senior Sergeant Joseph Sangam objected to the application, saying it was premature at this stage and he would need time to confirm information about the allegations against Mick with the arresting officer.
Sangam asked for an adjournment so the necessary consultations could be made to help the court and properly respond to the application.
“We will not be proceeding with this application as yet, the law allows us to make amendments any time,” he said.
Mick, 24, from Ambum’s Kupin Kem village in Enga, is charged with one count each of deprivation of liberty, robbery, threatening to kill and assaulting Stacey Lydia Sirimai in Port Moresby last November.
She suspected Stacey Lydia of having an affair with her husband Sengol Parkop.
Magistrate Paull Nii adjourned the matter to March 24 to allow police to consult the arresting officer and the court would hand down a ruling on the application.
Quinnie’s bail was extended.
